Plot

Kambhoji tells the tragic story of Kathakali artist Kunjunni (Vineeth) and his unsuccessful love with Uma Antharjanam (Lakshmi Gopalaswamy). Kunjunni reaches Uma's house to learn Kathakali from Ravunni Menon (Hareesh Peradi), a veteran in the art form. Menon is like a family member in Uma's house and that's why he stays there to teach children Kathakali in the courtyard. A talented disciple, Kunjunni impresses Menon, who assigns Kunjunni to run the class there and leaves for his house forever to look after his only daughter. However, love blossoms between Uma and Kunjunni. Things become complicated when the murder of Narayani (Sona Nair) occurs in the village and Kunjunni gets arrested and sentenced to death.

The plot revolves around the real-life incident of the hanging of an artist in his Kathakali costume a first of its kind in the country and that too in Kerala, perhaps one of the most tragic and rarest of incidents.
